Project partners

Membership of ERA-AGE was based upon two categories, partners and associate members.

Partners were public authorities who funded, managed and implemented coherent, strategically planned national research programmes on ageing. Associate members were public authorities that managed and funded research on ageing.

All of the members of the network were committed to

• carrying out the five main objectives of the ERA-AGE

• the ultimate aim of a European Research Area in this field

Initially, the ERA-AGE project consisted of nine partners and five associate members. In January 2005 the project was successful in gaining extended funding from Framework Programme Six ERA-NET to bring on board three new partners – Germany, Israel and Italy. From 2009 ERA-AGE 2 had 13 full partners in 12 countries and added more associate partners during the life of the project, listed below.

All of the partner and associate organisations in the ERA-AGE network were key players in research management and funding in their respective country or region and they have a history of European and international cooperation. They brought their unique expertise and specific research fields to the network. They also had specific clusters of expertise which collectively constituted a broad representation of all aspects of ageing research.

Our associate partners worked closely with the ERA-AGE 2 consortium to support our activities and aims and participate in the consortium's activities.
